Democrats That Move To Red States Need To Grasp The Concept That THEY Are The Problem

[BULLDOG]

Liberals are spreading all over the country. It began in California and New York, and like locusts they're spreading their political beliefs and in the process screwing up state after state. This is a result of their voting patterns. What appeals to their highly flexible principles is becoming a problem in state after state. The truth is liberals are spreading crime and economic hardship wherever they choose to settle:

Blue-State Refugees
By Gerald K. McOscar
The day before Maine’s November 6 gubernatorial election, Governor Paul LePage announced that if Democratic nominee Janet Mills won, he planned to move to Florida. In fact, he was moving regardless who won.

The Sunshine State is regularly the top destination for migrants fleeing Maine’s frigid winters and high taxes. It has one of the nation’s worst overall tax burdens while Florida boasts one of the best.

Florida is fortunate to be gaining a resident with LePage’s conservative values. Too many liberals move to low-tax states like Florida to escape the crime, taxes, corruption, and dysfunction of their home states only to bring the values of the ancien régime with them.

The upshot is that destination states incrementally turn purple, then blue. In time, the expats new homes mirror the old-guard liberal enclaves like New York, Maine, and New Jersey they fled.

Witness recent trends in Arizona, Florida, and Texas.

While researching this article, I disinterred a July 2013 letter to the Philadelphia Inquirer which illustrates my point.

A pregnant 31-year-old woman described her frightening encounter with 10 bike riding teenage thugs while walking home on her quiet residential Philadelphia Center City street.

Suddenly, with no warning, she was on the ground pinned under a bike, eye-to-eye with “a little boy looking as terrified as me trying to steal my belongings, fists raised.”

Bloodied but undaunted, to her the mugging was an occasion to reaffirm her liberal bonafides. Brimming with compassion, the lingua franca of liberalism, she straightaway exonerated the pre-pubescent felon, proclaiming that she and her husband are “proud “to raise their family in the diverse culture of the city.

Furthermore, the brave couple are staunch opponents of racial profiling. The “tragic” Trayvon Martin incident had reinforced their beliefs.

Admittedly, her encounter with the flash mob on bikes has caused her (oh so delicately and (reluctantly) to question some of these beliefs. Nonetheless, she remains a caring and compassionate human being.

She is not angry at the perp, nor scared. She’s “just sad—sad that (she is) about to raise a baby among people who would hurt a pregnant woman…. sad that I don’t know how to teach my child that stereotypes aren’t real when something like this happens.”

The problem with stereotypes is that they are grounded in reality.

Above all, she’s “most sad for the boy who knocked me over (and his friends who just stood there). With so much anger, so much hate, and a propensity to commit violence on me (and my giant belly) in what direction is his life leading?”

Touching.

Coincidently, an Inquirer article later that week afforded a glimpse of where her “boy” assailant’s life may be leading.

Nineteen-year-old Justine Mackie, arrested after a gunfight with police and the FBI, confessed to killing three people in an early July 10-day spree of violence.

Both Mackie and his brother (who was killed in the gunfight) have long juvenile records and walked away from juvenile facilities mere days before the killing spree.

Mr. Mackie told police that if he had been the one with the gun instead of his brother, he would have shot “until the magazine was empty.”

I suspect Mr. Mackie’s journey began with purse snatchings, juvenile court, and a series of juvenile facilities where therapists plumbed the root causes of Mr. Mackie’s “propensity to commit violence.” According to most juvenile justice “experts,” Mr. Mackie wasn’t evil; he was “troubled.”

Columnist Thomas Sowell once wrote that as far back as the 18th century, the left has struggled to avoid facing the plain fact of evil….” The left uses “Every kind of excuse, from poverty to an unhappy childhood, to explain and excuse evil. Yet seldom is there a speck of evidence that thugs are troubled, and often there is ample evidence that they are in fact enjoying themselves, as they create trouble and dangers for others.”

Mr. Mackie is a testament to the efficacy of this junk science.

Clearly, our compassionate victim is of like mind.

One day, however, after one or two more such incidents, without a word being spoken, she and her husband will decide to relocate to a leafy suburb where reality is less likely to disturb their cherished beliefs about themselves and the world about them.

If you look at a Red State/Blue State map by county...you will see the Red, healthy places being slowly replaced by the spreading infection of the necrotic Blue....... we need to quarantine the Blue states before their voters move to Red states and institute the same F****d up policies that destroyed the states they are leaving...

So you are losing ground. I can see why that scares you. Perhaps the right could come up with some policies that don't screw the middle class. That might help you.

 

[BULLDOG]

Democrats are like a flesh eating bacteria, they destroy their host state then move to a new state destroy it with the same stupid shit taxes and regulations.

I think for the most part many of them are decent people.....but they have a problem with holding strong principles. They are too easy to forgive and too easily manipulated. They actually buy into the MSM's race-baiting and identity politics.
The moment a Democrat wins office they start destroying everything.
Then these liberals simply accept it till they can't stand it anymore and move to another state.

Mark Levin, on his radio show, once described these Blue State refugees as a swarm of Locusts who destroy a state, then move to the next state to do the exact thing they did before...

Sure, but Levin is an idiot.

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

Do you really think anyone would move to another state just to provide another Democratic vote there? That's just nuts. Democratic ideology is what is spreading, and it scares you to death. The right just can't compete, so it is shrinking.

uh huh. but once they lose the concentration then things like both texas *and* california being a given for their side will come into play. you can't have them leave one area and not have that area effected.

but speaking as a texan, no i'm not happy california can run up their real estate prices to where a 1500 sq ft home will sell for $750k and they can move to texas and get a 2500 sq ft home for $250k (or used to be able to) and run up the prices on our real estate. my taxes have doubled in the last 3 years and much of it is due to this scenario playing out. there are (2) people on my team who did this and had a lot left in the bank after buying a nicer home in a better neighborhood and having $500k give or take to get another job, if they didn't have one already.

so you can eat it with the "democracy" bullshit, it's all about the money - period.

As a Texan, it's none of my business what property sells for in California. None of your business either. Quit whining, and trying to find someone to blame for your shortcomings.

not saying a thing about MY shortcomings, only that their influx has driven real estate prices WAY up and along with that property taxes rise also.

why you gotta be a fuckhead at every single opportunity?

The sorry shits are buying up the Texas Hill Country....PISSES me off!!!!

Florida is fortunate to be gaining a resident with LePage’s conservative values. Too many liberals move to low-tax states like Florida to escape the crime, taxes, corruption, and dysfunction of their home states only to bring the values of the ancien régime with them.

The upshot is that destination states incrementally turn purple, then blue. In time, the expats new homes mirror the old-guard liberal enclaves like New York, Maine, and New Jersey they fled.

Witness recent trends in Arizona, Florida, and Texas.

While researching this article, I disinterred a July 2013 letter to the Philadelphia Inquirer which illustrates my point.

A pregnant 31-year-old woman described her frightening encounter with 10 bike riding teenage thugs while walking home on her quiet residential Philadelphia Center City street.

Suddenly, with no warning, she was on the ground pinned under a bike, eye-to-eye with “a little boy looking as terrified as me trying to steal my belongings, fists raised.”

Bloodied but undaunted, to her the mugging was an occasion to reaffirm her liberal bonafides. Brimming with compassion, the lingua franca of liberalism, she straightaway exonerated the pre-pubescent felon, proclaiming that she and her husband are “proud “to raise their family in the diverse culture of the city.

Furthermore, the brave couple are staunch opponents of racial profiling. The “tragic” Trayvon Martin incident had reinforced their beliefs.

Admittedly, her encounter with the flash mob on bikes has caused her (oh so delicately and (reluctantly) to question some of these beliefs. Nonetheless, she remains a caring and compassionate human being.

She is not angry at the perp, nor scared. She’s “just sad—sad that (she is) about to raise a baby among people who would hurt a pregnant woman…. sad that I don’t know how to teach my child that stereotypes aren’t real when something like this happens.”

The problem with stereotypes is that they are grounded in reality.

Above all, she’s “most sad for the boy who knocked me over (and his friends who just stood there). With so much anger, so much hate, and a propensity to commit violence on me (and my giant belly) in what direction is his life leading?”

Touching.

Coincidently, an Inquirer article later that week afforded a glimpse of where her “boy” assailant’s life may be leading.

Nineteen-year-old Justine Mackie, arrested after a gunfight with police and the FBI, confessed to killing three people in an early July 10-day spree of violence.

Both Mackie and his brother (who was killed in the gunfight) have long juvenile records and walked away from juvenile facilities mere days before the killing spree.

Mr. Mackie told police that if he had been the one with the gun instead of his brother, he would have shot “until the magazine was empty.”

I suspect Mr. Mackie’s journey began with purse snatchings, juvenile court, and a series of juvenile facilities where therapists plumbed the root causes of Mr. Mackie’s “propensity to commit violence.” According to most juvenile justice “experts,” Mr. Mackie wasn’t evil; he was “troubled.”

Columnist Thomas Sowell once wrote that as far back as the 18th century, the left has struggled to avoid facing the plain fact of evil….” The left uses “Every kind of excuse, from poverty to an unhappy childhood, to explain and excuse evil. Yet seldom is there a speck of evidence that thugs are troubled, and often there is ample evidence that they are in fact enjoying themselves, as they create trouble and dangers for others.”

Mr. Mackie is a testament to the efficacy of this junk science.

Clearly, our compassionate victim is of like mind.

One day, however, after one or two more such incidents, without a word being spoken, she and her husband will decide to relocate to a leafy suburb where reality is less likely to disturb their cherished beliefs about themselves and the world about them.

If you look at a Red State/Blue State map by county...you will see the Red, healthy places being slowly replaced by the spreading infection of the necrotic Blue....... we need to quarantine the Blue states before their voters move to Red states and institute the same F****d up policies that destroyed the states they are leaving...

So you are losing ground. I can see why that scares you. Perhaps the right could come up with some policies that don't screw the middle class. That might help you.

It is hard to compete with Santa Claus....until all the money runs out, then the killing starts by the followers of your policies who no longer get the goodies, and don't understand why Santa Claus has an empty bag of goodies...

You have a vivid imagination, don't you?

No...I just watch news about Venezuela...a rich country that went socialist...now they are killing dogs and cats for food and can't wipe their behinds because they have no toilet paper...

This isn't Venezuela

well we're not fucking europe either but people keep saying we need to be like them in many ways.

Democrats are like a flesh eating bacteria, they destroy their host state then move to a new state destroy it with the same stupid shit taxes and regulations.

I think for the most part many of them are decent people.....but they have a problem with holding strong principles. They are too easy to forgive and too easily manipulated. They actually buy into the MSM's race-baiting and identity politics.
The moment a Democrat wins office they start destroying everything.
Then these liberals simply accept it till they can't stand it anymore and move to another state.

But after a few years they want to turn their Florida communities into the shitholes they came from.

They want public transportation.
More libraries.
More parks.
Public swimming pools.
Free clinics.
and on and on and on.

Strategically located public parks could have bathroom facilities included. Larger cities may benefit.

Planning could include better utilization of public services and infrastructure management.

Just in the ways that work best. England has extremely low rates of gun deaths and injuries. We should do what they are doing.

Liberals are spreading all over the country. It began in California and New York, and like locusts they're spreading their political beliefs and in the process screwing up state after state. This is a result of their voting patterns. What appeals to their highly flexible principles is becoming a problem in state after state. The truth is liberals are spreading crime and economic hardship wherever they choose to settle:

they have always been a federal republic; thank Goodness, we got a left winger.

 

[Oldstyle]

Do you really think anyone would move to another state just to provide another Democratic vote there? That's just nuts. Democratic ideology is what is spreading, and it scares you to death. The right just can't compete, so it is shrinking.

Democrats move from States like California to States like Colorado because the cost of living is lower and then immediately start trying to change their new State into the same thing as their old State was.

nope.

we're not them. you said so yourself in how we should treat things. you can't honestly cherry pick the best and guffaw at the worst when you head down a road.

Then these liberals simply accept it till they can't stand it anymore and move to another state.

Mark Levin, on his radio show, once described these Blue State refugees as a swarm of Locusts who destroy a state, then move to the next state to do the exact thing they did before...

the trouble with that, at least what see here in this forum is,anyone who moves out of California is considered a dem/liberal by many in this forum....and that is far from being true....when i was delivering mail a few short years ago in Cal,many and i mean many of the change of addresses i was given was by retirees who were leaving before the state sucked them dry or people who were just tired of the way the state was going and just said fuck it....the 70's California was a whole different world compared to this century...

Let's simplify Government to lower costs. We can call it, left wing supply side economics; better government at lower cost.
